It has been a long time!

I am not very good at blogging anymore! It has been almost two months since I have been on here! Googl.e is going to delete my blog if I don't keep something up here!

I think one reason I don't blog anymore is because Courtney films quite a bit around here and makes vlogs. She is great at capturing moments and then putting them into a video. Check her channel out on YouTube- "Courtney's Life". :)

At the moment, Matt and Christian are on their way out to Grand Island for Husker Harvest Days. They are travelling with grandpa. This has become a yearly tradition, and Christian looks forward to it every year. We were even in a consignment store yesterday and he found a pair of bib overalls. They fit great, so I bought them for today. He was pretty excited to show grandpa!

In the meantime, I will be at home with Megan, Courtney, and Micah. It will be quiet here today. Micah will have nobody to fight with, and Courtney will have nobody to pick on. Megan usually gets involved too somewhat during the day, but not as much as the other two. Micah will have all the toys to himself! Christian is really a good kid, but he just needs to listen. :) It is something we work on daily!

Megan and Courtney will go to school like always. We started school about a month ago with these two. We decided to dual enroll Megan this year. She is taking Latin and Biology up at the local high school, so she goes up there in the afternoon. This works out great! We just need to get all her work done by noon. We have been carpooling with another family in the neighborhood, so that has been super helpful.

Courtney and Christian (and Micah) are here in the afternoon, and we get quite a lot done. These two are still at home full-time. Matt says that when they are smarter than me, then they can go to school. There was no way I was teaching Megan Latin!! She is taking biology because science is hard to do at home. It was challenging to find all the science supplies and get everything done. It took Megan two years to get through one book. I told her now that she is in high school, she needs to get everything done in one year. There is also a rule where we live that if you take two classes at a school, then you can participate in extra-curricular activities. I told her to get involved!! She really gets the best of both worlds (public and homeschooling).

Since I only have the girls home today, I am letting them sleep in! I will get through things a lot faster without having to stop to break up fights all day!

I should go wake them up though- it is 8 am! Usually Micah is awake by 7:15 am, and he isn't up yet either.

Off to another fun-filled day!
